"This came out a month after Ride formed. They were such an important band for us. In fact, I’ve just checked and we formed in between the release of the two EP’s You Made Me Realise and Feed Me With Your Kiss, which were both massively influential on Ride. But the album was a step forward even from the EPs. It had a sound all of its own.

In particular, Colm O Ciosoig really stands out as being really important to the album. His drumming throughout is incredible, and his song, ‘(When You Wake) You’re Still in a Dream,’ is my favorite song on the record."
